Abstract: The present invention is a fundamental method and apparatus of a microcomponent assembly that overcomes the inherent limitations of state of the art chemical separations. The fundamental element enabling miniaturization is the porous contactor contained within a microcomponent assembly for mass transfer of a working compound from a first medium to a second medium. The porous contactor has a thickness, and a plurality of pores extending through the thickness. The pores are of a geometry cooperating with a boundary tension of one or the other or both of the media thereby preventing migration of one, other or both through the microporous contactor while permitting passage of the working compound. In the microcomponent assembly, the porous contactor is placed between a first laminate such that a first space or first microplenum is formed between the microporous contactor and the first laminate. Additionally, a cover sheet provides a second space or second plenum between the porous contactor and the cover sheet.

Abstract: The present invention is an active microchannel heat exchanger with an active heat source and with microchannel architecture. The active microchannel heat exchanger has (a) an exothermic reaction chamber (100) having a first shell (102) defining an exothermic reactant flow path and exhaust flow path, the first shell (102) penetrated with at least one inlet (104), and an exhaust outlet (106); (b) an exhaust chamber (108) having a second shell (110) with a containment wall (111) defining an exhaust flow path connected to said exhaust outlet (106), said second shell (110) penetrated by an exhaust chamber outlet (112), the exhaust chamber (108) having microchannels through which an exhaust flows; and (c) a heat exchanger chamber (114) in thermal contact with the exhaust chamber, said heat exchanger chamber (114) having a third shell (116) defining a working fluid flow path and having a third exterior surface (118) penetrated by a working fluid inlet (120) and a working fluid outlet (122) through which a working fluid flows; wherein (d) heat from the exothermic reaction chamber (100) is convected by an exothermic reaction exhaust through the exhaust chamber (108) and by conduction through the containment wall (111) to the working fluid in the heat exchanger chamber (114) thereby raising a temperature of the working fluid. The invention is particularly useful as a liquid fluid vaporizer and/or a steam generator for fuel cell power systems, and as a heat source for sustaining endothermic chemical reactions and initiating exothermic reactions.
